“I understand my crop insurance policy so much better now. The [previous agent] never [explained it] to me and when I ask questions about it, he talk[ed] over me, and I end[ed] up just more confused. Now I understand how it works and what I am getting. The worksheets were a great way to illustrate how guarantees work…”

— W. Grier, Ohio

“I actually didn’t know I had so many options to choose from when selecting my plan. My old agent never thoroughly explained the plan I had or why it was the best one for me. [The DCIS] decision-making tools and knowledge of the program make all the difference.”

— J. Cook, Missouri

“The agricultural industry is increasingly complex, and the risks associated with production agriculture have increased dramatically in the last decade. It is very reassuring to me that I have DCIS helping mitigate some of those risks through crop insurance programs and market advice. The people with DCIS that I have worked with have been extremely knowledgeable and professional… I would highly recommend [them] to anyone in this high risk business”

— S. Burkdoll, Kansas

“DCIS has been very helpful in making my crop insurance decisions, and keeping me informed on marketing my corn and beans. [My agent is] very well educated on crop insurance, and I rely on [him] for assistance. I would strongly recommend DCIS to anyone!”
